Fix what?

For unlock instructions, click on the Apple help site: Forgot passcode for your iPhone iPad or iPod touch or your device is...

Go to settings and ther'll be an option on language, change to english

Music can only be added through iTunes. Open iTunes and click on the device icon. Drag music that is loaded in iTunes music library onto the device. If you haven't loaded music into iTunes, you have to do that first.

You can contact an apple store and see what they suggest but I hope you have a back up because you will need to restore it to factory settings in iTunes in order to unlock it without the passcode.

Blow in it why u r running to get the blowdryer,blow-dry it till u don't c any more water then blow dry it some more.Then put it in a bag of rice.leave it there for a day or 2. make sure u get the speakers and microphones especially.

Recharageable should not be stored in a discharged state.If the recharageable battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR Thebattery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the batterydrops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to anunacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

Hold down same button u turn on just hold down longer

Have you ever tried to restore it into factory settings?Be careful, by doing so will erase all your data on it. But don't worry, you can recover music from ipod after restore it into factory settings.

HiTry resetting the iPod.Hope it helps.Thanks!

Connect to the PC and scan for virus , if there are corrupt files it can hang up and so it is best to format and re-install safe files.If not the battery on the ipod can be faulty or there is fault on the main board.

push the play button and the center button at the same time until the apple shows up(takes like 20-30 sec.). I had the same problem before then hook it up to it. that should work :)

First and easiest solution is it may have been left on and the battery is dead, so plug it in and try that first. If that doesn't work, press both your menu button and the center (select button) for about five seconds, hold them down until you see the apple logo appear on the screen. That is your reset option. It will go through a shut down/reset process. When finished, turn it back on and enjoy....Brian

It looks like you're out of luck. I just checked all the settings on mine and that option is not available that I can find in any menu.

The device can be unlocked by connecting it to a computer while running iTunes

then you'll have to figure it out or try putting 0000

According to Apple, if you have forgotten the code, you can unlock the IPod by doing the following:
Connect your IPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one IPod synced with), and open iTunes.
When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.
If you can't unlock IPod using either [the code or connecting it to the computer you use to manage its songs]. . . you can restore your iPod to factory settings using iPod Updater. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod.
Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to your iPod.
If you want to change the primary computer that your IPod is associated with, do this:
1. Restore your iPod. WARNING: The restore process cannot be undone.
All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
2. Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
3. Open iTunes and synchronize.
Apple also notes that company "representatives cannot unlock an iPod if you forget your combination. If you can't unlock your iPod and you don't have access to the primary computer, your only option is to restore the IPod, which will erase all music and data."

Hi, this seems to be a screen failure, just to make sure, do you still see the gray area when you reboot your iPod? in other words, can you see the gray apple over the black background when you first turn it on?
You can reboot your iPod by holding the menu and the select button (the one you use to pick a song).
If you can't see the Apple logo, then your screen appears to be broken, you're gonna have to take it to a technician. If by the other hand your iPod does show the logo, you really should try and restore it; this will erase all the songs and configurations but should restore your iPod to a working state, to do this just connect your iPod and while on iTunes, press the button that says "Restore".
